There is still hope for Telkom ADSL. My 10/1 line was disconnecting, getting speeds of 3-4 Mbps- pathetic service to be honest.
I logged a fault after exhausting all possibilities of the failure couldn't be on my side. Four technicians came - none could find the issue. All had the same story ie. the copper is kak, Telkom is not maintaining the copper, need to move to LTE etc.
Then the fifth technician came. I told him the problem is definitely outside my house. So goes to the nearest pole - which is rotten. He says he will request a new pole to be installed. 4 days later, Telkom sub contractors come install the pole.
Another 2 days later the same technician comes back, climbs up the pole. he then makes new connections on all the poles from my house (about 6 poles) to the blue and green box.
My line is back to around 9.4/0.75 speed.
